Our specialty is personalized house cleaning by one regular individual. We clean according to your wishes, with no set-in-stone list, no contract, and no cancellation fees. The individual gets to know your wishes and the needs of your home; and our customers love the personalization, consistency and comfort this provides. (If you need two cleaners instead of one in order to get in and out a little faster, we will be happy to provide two regular ladies.) We take excellent care of our employees, and have a low turnover rate for the industry. We run thorough background checks on each of our house cleaners, and fully insure and bond them. We guarantee all of our work - we will either reclean or refund any area you are not completely happy with. I personally provide the estimates for new customers, and can do so over the phone, over email, or in your home. I will work with you to personalize the cleaning to your wishes, and will assign a regular cleaner based on your needs and those of your home. We charge based on time spent. Typically we work until finished or up to any price point you set at the initial cleaning, and then it will be a set time and price going forward after that. You may pay at time of service, request an invoice, or send payment through your bank's internet bill pay. Please let us know how we may serve you - We think you'll love our service! - Linda (Rombach) Rabenberg AWARDS: * 2016 Winner of "Best of St. Charles County" Award * 2011 Winner of the BBB Torch Award * 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 Winner of the Angie's List Super Service Award.

A properly constructed chimney crown using quality materials can last 50 to 70 years with appropriate maintenance. Poorly constructed crowns might need replacement in 20 years or less. Weather exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and construction quality all affect longevity. Regular inspections and prompt repairs of minor issues can significantly extend your chimney crown's useful life and prevent more costly repairs down the road.
Homeowners' insurance covers sudden, accidental damage to chimney crowns from events like fallen trees or storm damage. However, gradual deterioration from age or lack of maintenance falls outside coverage parameters. Review your specific policy details, as coverage varies between insurers. Document any storm-related damage with photos and maintain records of regular chimney maintenance to support potential claims for weather-related damage.
The chimney crown forms the concrete or masonry covering across the entire top surface of your chimney, sloping away from the flue to direct water away. A chimney cap, by contrast, is a smaller component that fits directly over the flue opening to prevent animal entry and block sparks. While the cap protects just the flue opening, the crown safeguards the entire chimney structure from water penetration.
Professional chimney inspections should occur annually to evaluate crown condition along with other chimney components. Homeowners in regions with severe weather patterns or frequent freeze-thaw cycles might benefit from semi-annual inspections. A thorough inspection examines the crown for cracks, spalling, deteriorating mortar joints, and proper water drainage. Early detection of minor issues prevents them from developing into major structural problems.
A deteriorating chimney crown frequently leads to interior moisture problems. When water penetrates crown cracks, it can travel through the chimney structure into adjacent walls and ceilings. This moisture migration often results in stained drywall, peeling paint, and potential mold growth. Early intervention through crown repair or sealing prevents these secondary damages and protects your home's interior from water-related deterioration.
